Seems like a smart way to do it, but that relies on having another always-on system standing as the server. OP's solution only requires the one device, the rPi

- LeoPanthera 4y agoThat's true. In theory you could use an extra Raspberry Pi itself as the netboot server. But since my home network already has a fileserver it was an easy choice.
- cassianoleal 4y agoIf you run an open source router distro like OpenWRT or OPNSense, you can use it as the PXE Boot host. That's a device that needs to be running anyway. I've seen a lot of people running their routers as a VM on something like Proxmox and that gives you even more flexibility but it does require a beefier server - one that could potentially replace all the RasPis, potentially making the PXE boot redundant. :D
